Our man Jimmy is the Vegemite of the kung-fu movie world, he's an acquired taste. Personally I'm a fan (you can probably tell from the name), but for his detractors it seems to pretty much always boil down to the perception that he's all about the flailing arms (perhaps that's why his most well remembered movies have him missing one), and little else. While his overall filmography is hit and miss, at least from my perspective it contains its fair share of classics. From his early swordsplay flicks at Shaw Brothers, to his seminal work 'The Chinese Boxer' (which essentially kicked off the empty handed kung-fu boom), through to his goofy Taiwanese classics like 'Master of the Flying Guillotine' and 'Knight Errant'. That's not even mentioning his cool little one-offs like the spy flick 'Asia-pol', and his battle epic 'Beach of the War Gods'. There's plenty more.

Member TibetanWhiteCrane Posted December 29, 2017 Member Share Posted December 29, 2017 To me, Jimmy is like Chuck Norris... well, 80's Chuck Norris. Most likely a dick bag in his real life, and I really can't say what it is I'm drawn to, but I'm drawn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member TibetanWhiteCrane Posted December 30, 2017 Member Share Posted December 30, 2017 You're right, it's not. I remember the unwritten rule back in the day was three of the five main guys had to be in it for it to be called a Venoms movie. Not sure I agree with that either, but just having Lo Meng and baby Venoms.... I def don't feel that qualifies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of Chang Cheh's filmography, I just like those best. Methinks I should read more comments and post fewer of them. I am clearly out of my element here.

You are a valued member of the forum. No slight taken. And thank you, I appreciate that. The admonition was purely for my own benefit. I don't like when folks post regarding topics they don't know a lot about, and I obviously did that, putting my foot in my mouth in this instance. I am good to go.

I haven't seen many of his films, but I like the ones I've seen (i.e. the first two One Armed Swordsman movies, The Man From Hong Kong, and The Master of the Flying Guillotine).
